The Man In Black - The Johnny Cash Story
starring Tex Perkins, Rachael Tidd and The Tennessee Four
Tex Perkins, one of Australia's most electrifying front men will walk the Johnny Cash line in Adelaide for 5 performances only from July 22 to 25 bringing the hard-living country legend to life at Her Majesty's Theatre for five performances.
Tickets go on sale through Bass from Friday 21 May.
Following sell-out seasons in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane the multi ARIA Award-winning Perkins (The Cruel Sea, The Beasts of Bourbon) will lead band The Tennessee Four - Shannon Bourne, Dave Folley, Steve Hadley and Shane Reilly in a show that includes twenty-four Cash hits including Folsom Prison Blues, Get Rhythm, I Walk The Line and Ring of Fire.
Written by Australian theatrical producer Jim McPherson (Wild World - The Cat Stevens Story) who confesses to a forty-year fascination with the wildly unpredictable Cash, the show celebrates the life and times of one of the most incredible singers, songwriters and entertainers ever to grace the stage. The Man in Black is two hours of Cash s greatest hits interwoven with the story of his rise to stardom, fight for survival and eventual redemption.
The show also explores Cash's relationship with the greatest love of his life, June Carter. Perkins co-star Rachael Tidd, who has sung and acted in everything from Shakespeare to Sondheim, will interpret Carter s dynamic vocal style.
Tex is Cash. Captivating and entertaining. And so is the show. It will satisfy hardcore fans of both men. And that s no mean feat. Herald Sun
Singer. Rebel. Outlaw. Hero. No matter how you describe the legendary Johnny Cash he was one of America s most influential musicians. Cash stood up for the downtrodden, the disenfranchised, the imprisoned and all those who had suffered a raw deal in life.
Right up until his death in 2003, Cash covered a range of genres including country, rockabilly, rock n roll, blues, folk and gospel.
Over his long career he sold more than 50 million records and his music continues to sell today. With his driving freight-train chords, steel-eyed intensity and a voice as dark as the night, Cash revolutionised music like no other.
